These hunting dogs are also good at search and rescue due to their amazing sense of smell. Coonhounds are great scenting dogs that can learn quickly and follow directions.
Unlike the Bloodhound, the Basset Hound has only 275 million smell receptors. These pups are lower than their cousin, so they can get into the scenting area easier.
